We have created this Wiki page for teachers to use as a resource for teaching their students about planets of the universe. This is a part of our EDN113 task at Murdoch University.
Down below are the people who created this Wiki and their job roles. By clicking on our names you can view our websites which include our 'about me' page and blogs.
Our topic is about the planets of the universe and is targeted at year 5 students.
The subject area that our topic covers is science.
Lesson Plans and Tasks
The lesson plans will run over a course of 4 weeks, with 2 lessons per week (total of 8 lessons).
Each lesson will approximately last 2 hours each.
Throughout the course of the 4 weeks, the students will be learning about the different planets of the solar system and in the end will be given one planet to research.
They will also have to create a digital presentation to present at the end of the lesson.
Curriculum Alignment
The lesson plans link to the Australian Curriculum for year 5 students as it is linked to Science- Earth and Space.
As you can see on the right, based upon the curriculum, the task seems to cover the requirements necessary for year 5 students.
Technology and Final Product The students will be using a range of different technologies such as:
Canva (poster making, to talk about what they want to learn and reflect on what they have learnt)
PowerPoint (to present their findings)
MindMaster (preparation for their research)
Authentic Learning Elements Down below are the nine authentic learning elements taken from Jan Herrington's website.
1.Authentic Contexts- Knowledge that is used in real life. 2.Authentic tasks and activities- Making sure they are provided. 3.Expert performances- Providing access and modelling these. 4.Multiple roles- Seeing things from different perspectives. 5.Collaborative construction of knowledge- Supporting this within a classroom. 6. Reflection- Dealing with different ideas. 7.Articulation- Students are able to explain their knowledge. 8.Coaching and scaffolding- The teacher gives the student support throughout the learning process. 9.Authentic assessment-This should be done within the tasks.
A description of how the elements are addressed in our project can be found on the lesson plan page.
